EDIT;
Also what are you judging as a success. The US was not in debt and could easily grow in the 18th and 19th century since it was an agricultural country with room to expand into industrialization. If success lies in maintaining growth and sustaining your economic presence globally, then corporatism has failed where capitalism did not.

The UN does all that.......BUT, the plan was thought up in Bavaria and done so hundreds of years ago...the details were always circumstances permitting. Like not letting a crisis go to waste. Today shootings are used to make a push for gun bands, like tomorrow a biological weapon used helps push global disbanding of all armed forces to be replaced by a world army and security force....in the name of peace of coarse...

There is no guarantee to anything. Also the "abuses" were blown out of proportion so as to sway public sentiment. No different than anything else we see done today....
I wonder if a new royal title will be made?

well in the real world there are no guarantees. If I was to go to another form of political/ economic ideology not providing its guarantees I would argue every form of socialism in which unions exist. In a true socialism the workers own their own production so the need to be defended from abuses is null, yet unions always exist in socialism under the hidden form of corporatism known as syndicalism. That is not socialism either, it is syndicalism (corporatism) existing in socialism until it ultimately undermines the whole system.
The same is true of capitalism with the parasite of corporatism. Those abuses we speak of during the industrialization process that the US underwent were full of government interference which made those businesses untouchable. The people did not enjoy them and would gladly seen them ousted, the same way we would gladly oust the banks today. The problem is that they are utterly protected by the same government and system that is supposed to directly/ or self regulate them. That is yet another attribute of corporatism that goes unnoticed.
Also I dont think that royalty is on its way out. It is in a perfect position to control governments while avoiding all blame for failures as well as dangers of public backlash. They still do hold absolute power in most cases. Like in Spain the King has veto power over the government that he rarely publicly exercises, but COULD.
